WORLDS
FANTASY MAPS, SCI-FI MAPS...
...or anything inbetween!
Hello! My name is Daniel, and I am a mapmaker. What this essentially means, is that if you need a map, I can probably make it!
I think maps are the perfect way to convey not only what a world looks like, but what it feels like. It is the perfect medium to showcase your worldbuilding, and also the perfect tool to let you gain a proper large-scale overview of your projects.
As a mapmaker, I have about 15 years of practice and experience creating a variety of different styles, while also working on perfecting my own along the way. What I can offer are maps that focus on the immersive side of things, while also conveying the needed information contained within them.
If your world is in the dark, then let me bring it into the light for you!
TABLETOP & ROLEPLAY
If you're not in need of a Commercial License and just want a map for your own private use, then I can definitely help you there!
I can create maps and styles that are very fitting for Tabletop roleplaying games, whether they're Sci-Fi or Fantasy, or something else! Ideal for any DM looking to see their adventures enhanced through the use of immersive and world-fitting maps.
I must disclaim, though, that I am not willing to make Tactical Maps or Dungeon/Interior Maps. But I can, however, make various Regional- or Settlement-based maps, or similar.
A WORLD OF WORLDS
Whatever it is that you need, so long as it is a map, I can most likely provide! Whether it be for your worldbuilding project, for school, for a game, for streaming or videos, etc. I can most likely help you with it.
Generally speaking, I am capable at creating universe, world, regional, city, settlement, or illustrative maps. Be sure to check out my gallery to see examples of what styles I can offer.
But having said that, I can be pretty flexible, so you just let me know what your project or idea is, and I'll let you know if it's something I can do!
NOVELS & PUBLISHING
If you are in need of maps for your novel or similar books, then I offer options for Commercial Licenses for the purposes of printing and publishing, or if you have other commercial plans.
I can create simple but high quality illustrative or book-appropriate maps. Ideal for writers in need of maps for their novels, and I'm able to offer a coloured version of a map in addition to the standard greyscale, for no extra charge.
My typical rates for commercial and published works ask for +100% of the Total Price. But, in exchange you retain Copyright and Commercial Rights to your finished map.
file formats
Typically, the final delivery will consist of a PNG file of the map.
The map size itself is usually between 3-5K Pixels at its widest.
turnaround
You can expect to receive the finished map anywhere between a week or a month. I can be very quick, depending on the map, but the time can be affected by my current workload.
The usual process is to provide you with a initial first iteration of the map within the first week, and then the finished map within the next.
payment
I ask for a 60% deposit before I start work on a commission, and my preference is to be paid via Paypal.
ILLUSTRATIVE
135 EUR
Illustrative maps can be a variety of things, such as brochure maps showing points of interest, a map showing various travel points, subway maps, etc. Essentially, these are stylized and simplified maps.
UNIVERSE
150 EUR
A Universe map is either a map of a solar system, a map of several solar systems, or a map of the cosmos.
WORLD
160 EUR*
A world map is usually a simpler map of one or many continents divided into different regions and nations, within the spectrum of a planet or similar.
*additional continents adds another +35 EUR per
REGIONAL
200 EUR
A regional map features a medium to large sized area, such as a zone or a nation map. Can also include more contained maps, like Adventure maps, which can be between a small region or a large kingdom.
SETTLEMENT
300 EUR
A Settlement map is defined as either a village or small town. Maps like these are generally a fair bit detailed.
CITY
350 EUR
A city map typically features a much larger town of hundreds of buildings and narrow streets and roads. Generally speaking, city maps aren't very detailed on a building close-up level.
The PSD file will be a simplified version of the working file, meaning that it will mostly only be usable for rearranging layers, renaming labels, etc.
PSD cost is fixed at €60.
+PSD FILE
60 EUR
The right for the customer to use the map and reproduce/redistribute it for the purposes of sale and general commercial usage.
*Commercial Use rights is typically double the initial Total Price, depending on the scale of the project/commission.
+Commercial Use
+100%
MAP TYPES & PRICING
The below examples are what map types I will mainly accept commissions for.
Try hovering over them for more information!
The prices shown are estimates, and the Total Price depends on the amount of detail, size, colour, and complexity of the map request. As a rule: the more time needed, the higher the price.

personal works
I have many maps that I have created for my own personal projects and worldbuilding.
These are just some of those maps, but these are all map styles that I am more or less very acquainted with making and replicating.
Many of my maps are frequently featured in the World of Io; a D&D Show Series set in a Homebrew 5e setting!
My work is also featured in the YA sci-fi novel series Moonstorm by award-winning Yoon Ha Lee!
Published by Penguin Random House
commissioned works
A collection of some of my commissioned maps over the years.
Most of my commissions have for the most part been for web-based purposes, or for Livestream Tabletop shows.
But, I am generally capable of making maps for a wide variety of purposes, including worldbuilding projects, games, novels, etc.
